Eclipse IDE - Open Call Hierarchy is empty/broken

Question

What should I do, if the \"Open Call Hierarchy\" is broken (empty for every method in a project)? It only shows the name of the method I wanted to see the call hierarchy fo

Answer 1

In my case it seemed my workspace was contaminated.

Opening/closing projects and starting with clean did not fix. I had to start off a new workspace.

Fedora 20, Eclipse Kepler.

Answer 2

Also, you can try to delete the workspace and get it recreated. Make sure all your projects are backed up.

Answer 3

In my case I was trying to get the call hierarchy of a method in the derived class of an abstract class. The requested method was declared abstract in the base class. When I opened the call hierarchy directly on the abstract method instead of the implemented one, everything worked well. (Eclipse Neon).

Answer 4

When you go to the eclipse bug report for this issue, somebody says, you should install over the Market place the Java 12 support.
When I installed it, it was working properly again

Answer 5

If the call Hierarchy is not opening, it might be because of the project is not imported as a java project, rather it would be displayed in the file stucture. You may want to enable the project facet through:

right click on the project -> project facet.  

If you dont see anything listed, you need

configure the project facet -> Apply -> ok.

I also tried the suggestions above, as well as the hint given here: http://mschrag.blogspot.co.at/2009/01/open-type-cant-find-your-class.html

Nothing worked until today when I found out that I am a donkey... I once configured a filter in the "Call Hierarchy" view and so no entries were shown because filtered out. Once I removed / disabled the filter everything worked fine again.
